Holmes can put threeball rivals under the hammer

US Tour rookie Sebastian Munoz seized the early advantage at the Greenbrier Classic with an opening round of 61.

A 250-1 chance before the tournament, the Colombian leads by two shots from veteran Davis Love and is now a best-priced 18-1 for a first PGA Tour triumph.

It could be worth waiting until the 5.40pm match between JB Holmes, Vaughan Taylor and Vijay Singh for the best threeball bet of the day at the Old White TPC.

Former Ryder Cup winner Holmes struggled at last week's Quicken Loans National after an 11th-placed finish at the US Open on his previous start.

He tends to blow hot and cold, but his performance at Erin Hills and decent showings in the WGC Mexico Championship (T12) and Zurich Classic (T5) over the past few months highlight his ability when somewhere near his best.

Holmes opened up with a round of 68 on Thursday, two shots better than his playing partners, Taylor and Singh, who both finished on level par.

Former Masters champion Singh has made only four out of 15 main tour cuts this year, while Taylor has finished 73rd, 57th and 61st in his last three outings which suggests that Holmes should have the beating of them again.
